Dr. Greg Khounganian is board certified in spine surgery that emphasizes minimally invasive techniques. After earning his medical degree from the University of Southern California, he completed his orthopedics surgery residency in New York City. As he grew adept at treating a variety of orthopedic problems, ranging from sports injuries to broken bones to arthritic joint conditions, Dr. Khounganian developed an interest in spine and spine-related disorders.

He returned to his home in the San Fernando Valley to expand on his spine surgery training with a fellowship at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. Here Dr. Khounganian learned some of the most innovative orthopedic techniques available to patients, including treating spine
conditions with non-operative techniques and utilizing microscopic and other minimally invasive procedures. His use of these state-of-the-art practices means patients can return to their regular activities as quickly as possible.

Dr. Khounganian has participated in a number of orthopedic research projects and been published in a range of academic journals. His research has been accepted for presentation at both national and international spine surgery meetings. During his medical education, he was awarded recognition for his outstanding scholastic achievements. In his free time, he enjoys music, movies, personal fitness, and outdoor activities with friends and family.

His office manager came out and spoke with me, seemingly because she needed some attention. He saw me as soon as i could complete my paperwork. He started out friendly enough, but didnt want to hear my concerns about one of two potential surguries that i will most likely require. I was unimpressed.

He listened to what I has to say about my condition without interrupting. When I was finished, he performed an examination then clearly explained his diagnosis. He answered all my questions, offered options and made a recommendation consistent with the diagnosis and my needs. A very positive experience.
